In 1994, Walt Disney Pictures released the movie The Lion King. The movie became what could perhaps be the best-animated feature of all time. Disney Pictures has always stated that this was an original story and not based off of anything else. However, “Most of the critics whose reviews appear on one of the several Lion King Web pages… compare the movie to Hamlet…” (Schwalm). Likewise, many people cannot help but draw comparisons between The Lion King and certain elements in the Bible. Though there are many similarities between The Lion King and Hamlet and perhaps some over shadowing of The Bible, there are also many differences that make the stories their own. The young prince in The Lion King, Simba, is a precocious cub who finds himself in a good amount of precarious predicaments. His father, Mufasa, typically saves Simba and it is in one of these predicaments that cause Mufasa’s death. This is reported to be a hint of the Bible represented by “The king--Mufasa here, God in the Bible…” (Ward 174). This is also where it is argued that a reference to religion can be seen as Mufasa restricts Simba from going to certain places within the kingdom, which could be reflective of Adam and Eve in the Bible not being able to eat the forbidden fruit. Scar convinces Simba to visit a forbidden area in the kingdom much like the serpent in the Bible convinces Eve to eat the fruit. Simba is tricked into thinking his father’s death is really his fault by his Uncle Scar. After Scar convinces young Simba that it is his fault that Mufasa is now dead, Simba runs away from Pride Rock ashamed of what he thinks he has caused and grieving his father’s death. According to some critics this is a rough reference to religion and represents “…the fall into sin.” (Ward 173). Likewise in the Bible Adam and Eve are ashamed after they do the forbidden and they grieve their loss of ignorant bliss. Simba grows up hiding from his past and responsibilities....

...﻿According to the 2007 American Payroll Association (APA) national online survey, “GETTING PAID IN AMERICA,” more than two-thirds, or 67% of America’s workers would experience financial difficulties if their paychecks were delayed for just one week—indicating that workers are living paycheck to paycheck.
In partnership, the APA and ADP, Inc. combined resources and payroll expertise to provide America’s workers with information on how to maximize additional income through strategic management of their paychecks, withholdings, and deductions:
Taxes: Knowledge is power. Pay attention to new tax laws. They are like a moving target—changing yearly. Recent tax changes are supposed to put more money in the pockets of American taxpayers. However, if you don’t have enough taxes withheld, you may be in for an unpleasant shock at tax time. On the other hand, if you received a large refund last year, you may have had too much money withheld at work, in effect giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan at your expense.
Be smart about your 401(k). Many workers do not take full advantage of, or effectively manage, the benefits offered by their employer. For more than 20 years, Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code has authorized employers to create tax-deferred savings plans for their employees to help supplement Social Security. It’s your responsibility to pay attention to how your contributions are allocated to ensure your nest egg is appropriately diversified for your...

Over the past eighteen years, life has definitely challenged me. I have encountered events that the average teenager is not presented with. When I was six years old, my father was diagnosed with a kidney disorder. Being at a young age, I did not understand exactly what was wrong. As I got older I began to realize that my father’s kidney disorder was serious. At first, I did not know how to accept that my father was ill, and there was nothing I could do. As time progressed, it became clear to me that God was challenging my faith.
In 2000, my father received news that his kidneys were beginning to fail. His createnine level, the measure of protein bypassing the kidneys, was above average. The average adult male’s createnine level is anywhere from 0.06 to 1.2 mg/dL and is measured on a scale of one to ten. My father’s createnine level had risen to 5.0, which indicated that his kidneys were in great distress. To lower a person’s createnine, the doctor usually lowers their blood pressure, which would take pressure off the kidneys, and may also prescribed Prednisone, which would reduce swelling and inflammation, but at the same time, it suppresses the immune system. My father’s nephrologist, Dr. Rizvi, prescribed him 160 milligrams of Prednisone. The high dosage of medicine lowered his createnine to 2.3, which was considered an acceptable level by Dr. Rizvi; therefore they...

...English inspiration script
Good morning/afternoon everybody my name is Matthew, I’m your tutor today and I am from the Queensland Institute of Film Studies. In this tutorial group today I will be teaching you about two inspirational movies and the nature of these films. But before I start tutoring you I would like to ask you what inspiration is? Does it mean being strong and courageous? Does it mean helping others in need? Or maybe does it mean being a good leader? What does it mean to you?
To me inspiration means doing something unique and great to achieve a goal, whereas inspiration is defined in the dictionary as ‘stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, etc, to special or unusual activity or creativity’ which isn’t very easy to understand. How many of you can explain this to someone? Some movies can cause social change; they can inspire people to do the right thing, to help others in need, to try harder. Social change means to inspire people to change. There are two movies in particular that have inspired me and they are ‘touching the void’ and ‘invictus’.
Touching the void is about two mountain climbers named Joe Simpson and Simon Yates (who are played by Brendan Mackey and Nicholas Aaron) and their perilous journey up and down a mountain called Siula Grande. This film is called a biopic which is a film based on the life of a famous person, they dramatise and depict the life of an actual person or...

“The Prayer at Valley Forge” was painted by Arnold Friberg in 1975. He created it as a celebration for the bi-centennial year at Valley Forge. The original version of this painting was actually a portrait orientation and large enough to take up a whole wall. It was also a set of three. The original was a gift to the White House. The second, to be hung in the nation’s capital and the last was given to the Pentagon. Although these are all the locations for the leaders of America, this painting was created for all Americans, in order to tell them of the spiritual foundation that was a major part for the fight for American independence. Friberg shows very clearly Americas first strong ties with religion and spirituality through his painting of “The Prayer at Valley forge”.

Friberg effectively uses kairos very effectively in his painting. The moment depicted in this painting takes place during one of the most horrific times during the revolutionary war. America was struggling in the war, defeat after defeat the British had all but beaten us. American troops were starving, freezing, and struggling to stay alive against the harsh Valley Forge Winter. Washington sought guidance at that moment. This is the moment when he discovered that these trials would make his solders, and all of...

Last year the Green Bay Packers won the super bowl championship, while the Detroit Lions didn't even make it to the playoffs.

But [In academic writing, avoid starting a sentence with a conjunction ] , to a fan that analyze teams, and has been watching football this season; it is obvious that the Green Bay packers and the Detroit Lions are two teams that should be compared.

The Lion King and Hamlet
The Lion King was, and still is, one of Disney’s greatest movies ever made. First released in 1994 it was an instant hit. What many people don’t know though is that it was based off another story written a long time before it. This story is Shakespeare’s Hamlet. As I compare the two stories you will notice many similarities between them.
One of the first similarities I noticed between The Lion King and Hamlet was the overall topic of them. They both have a main focus on revenge and responsibility. In The Lion King, Simba wanted revenge on Scar for killing his father, while in Hamlet; Hamlet Jr. wanted revenge for his father’s murder as well. When it came to responsibility they were both the same. Simba was very irresponsible when he would leave the pride lands and Hamlet Jr. was very irresponsible by leaving.
Another main similarity between the two stories was Hamlet Sr. and Mufasa. Hamlet Sr. was once the King of Denmark. He would rule his kingdom with peace and prosperity. Similar to this is Mufasa. He was the king of the Pride Lands; he ruled peacefully and only worried about his son and his responsibilities. Another similarity between Mufasa and Hamlet Sr. is how they both became leaders for their sons after their death. They lead them to get revenge on their uncle and clean up after his mess. They both came to their sons...
